Unfurling
This is a deer fern, and it has both male and female fronds. This is one of the male fronds. The female fronds come later, and are fuller and more lush. It looks like 2 entirely different ferns melded together. I love the detail, though, on these, and the way the centers are so tightly spiraled.
